Weekend Mini-Challenge: Out of Your Own Words
I’m using the line, solitude is my friend, from my poem Simply Me
~
Friendship
solitude is my friend
she sits quietly beside me
holding my hand
whispering in my ear
telling me my words matter
solitude is my friend
she nudges my muse
into wakefulness when
morning slips through
the kitchen window
solitude is my friend
she sits quietly beside me
as night steals the light
comforting me with her presence
until sleep taps me on the shoulder
rhymeswithbug 
This is as lovely as solitude itself. Beautiful.

Solitude is a goddess who speaks to those listening and appreciating her ways. She totally loves this speaker.

The repeated line echoes through your poem, Candy, a reminder of the peace and quiet that solitude brings, and the space to think and create.I identify with the second stanza, being an early morning writer:
‘solitude is my friend
she nudges my muse
into wakefulness when
morning slips through
the kitchen window’.
